Chignecto Consulting Group Inc. offers a comprehensive range of professional services specializing in projects and issues affecting Aboriginal people in Canada. Working nationally and internationally with an impressive and capable array of associates, Chignecto Consulting Group offers clients, Native and non-Native, expert advice and assistance.
At Chignecto Consulting Group Inc., we believe that First Nations have the right to participate and benefit as full partners in Canadian society. We further believe that the establishment and maintenance of effective partnerships among First Nations, governments and the business community are essential to meaningful self-government and economic development. With this philosophy as our foundation, we are committed to meeting our clients’ objectives while promoting self-sufficiency, self-determination, and facilitating the development of long term effective and equitable relationships with the appropriate partners.
Impact Benefit Agreements (IBA) and Socio-Economic Participation Agreements (SEPA) set out the specific benefits that First Nations will receive from a natural resource extraction project in terms of employment, business opportunities, training and development, and financial compensation for loss of the use of the land while the project is in operation. Chignecto can help your community negotiate a fair deal with the resource company. Contact us today!
